The kid I photographed is technically breaking Florida law. In
Florida, anyone under the age of 16 is required to wear a helmet when
riding on a motorcycle or bicycle or using a skateboard or
rollerblades. It is probably a law more enforced by Mommies than the
police.

what's the florida law about failure to report someone else breaking
the law?


Hopefully there will never be such a law, in any US jurisdiction. If
you see a criminal act being committed and don't report it, or try to
stop the act, that is a morality issue, not a legal one.

There are failure to report laws. In Texas, failure to report a crime
that results in serious injury is a crime itself. That doesn't compare
to this skateboarder not using protective gear although serious bodily
injury can result.
